Beware of him who is an office seeker. Men do not usually want an t -. 

 office when they have anything to do. A man's affairs are rather low when 

 he seeks office for support. 



Trust no stranger. Your goods are better than doubtful charges. What 

 is character worth, if you make it cheap by crediting everybody? 



Agree beforehand with every man about to do a job, and, if large, put 

 it into writing. If any decline this, quit, or be cheated. Though you want 

 a job ever so much, make all sure at the onset, and in case at all doubtful, 

 make sure of a guarantee. Be not afraid to ask it; the best test of responsi- 

 bility; for, if offence be taken, you have escaped a loss.

How to Treat Sunstroke. 



Take the patient at once to a cool and shady place, but don't carry him far 

 to a house or hospital. Loosen the clothes thoroughly about his neck and waist. 

 Lay him down with the head a little raised. Apply wet cloths to the head, 

 and mustard or turpentine to the calves of the legs and the soles of the feet. 

 Give a little weak whiskey and water if he can swallow. Meanwhile, let 

 some one go for the doctor. You cannot safely do more without his advice. 



Sunstroke is a sudden prostration due to long exposure to great heat, 

 especially when much fatigued or exhausted. It commonly happens from 

 undue'exposure to the sun's rays in summer. It begins with pain in the head, 

 or dizziness, quickly followed by loss of consciousness and complete prostra- 

 tion.
